Mamayi Mosque (Azerbaijani: Mamay məscidi) is an Azerbaijani mosque located in Shusha, Azerbaijan about 350 kilometres (220 mi) from the capital Baku. The mosque is located on G. Asgarov street of Mamayi neighborhood of Shusha.[1][2] Mamayi neighbourhood is the 4th of 8 upper and earlier neighbourhoods of Shusha. In total, there are 17 neighbourhoods. Mamayi Mosque was one of the 17th mosques functioning in Shusha by the end of the 19th century.[3][4][5] A few years before occupation of Shusha, Mamayi Mosque along with Ashaghi Govhar Agha, Yukhari Govhar Agha and Saatli mosques were renovated.[6] According to a satellite report by the Caucasus Heritage Watch of Cornell University, during the de-facto Armenian control of the region, the mosque remained unchanged and well-preserved until 2020.[7] It returned to Azerbaijani control in 2020 following a three-day-long battle over Shusha.
